Zip Code 46041 Identified as a COVID-19 Hotspot

Published on October 21, 2020October 21, 2020 by Brett W. Todd

FRANKFORT – A zip code within Clinton County has been identified as a COVID-19 hotspot, specifically zip code 46041.

Using data from the Indiana State Department of Health (ISDH), Micah Pollak, Associate Professor of Economics at Indiana University Northwest, published a statewide map on Tuesday showing the average weekly new COVID-19 cases over a 4-week period by zip code in Indiana. Professor Pollak was assisted in this project by Susan Batt, 13 Investigates & Special Projects Producer at WTHR.

The method of determining a numerical value by zip code looked at the average new weekly cases over a 4-week period, from September 20th through October 18th. Then zip code population data available from 2018 population tables published by the U.S. Census Bureau was used to allow each zip code to be analyzed evenly. A statistical method used commonly known as occurrences in 100,000. In this instance, the weekly average of new COVID-19 cases per 100,000 people.

The result was the grouping of results across 6 bands, 0-60, 60-80, 80-100, 100-120, 120-140, and 140+. Clinton County zip code 46041 feel within the 140+ band. Other Clinton County zip codes appearing in grouping bands included zip codes 46058 and 46065 in the 80-100 band and zip code 46050 in the 0-60 band.

The following is the most recent zip code data by count only as pulled on October 21, 2020.

46035 Colfax: Suppressed
46039 Forest: Suppressed
46041 Frankfort: 465 cases
46050 Kirklin: 19 cases
46057 Michigantown: Suppressed
46058 Mulberry: 94 cases
46065 Rossville: 31 cases
46067 Sedalia: No cases

Note: Suppression occurs when there are either less than 5 COVID cases to a zip code or the zip code’s population is less than 1,500.

Today, October 21, the ISDH reported an additional 14 Clinton County residents had tested positive bringing the total count to 829 since the beginning of the pandemic.

Clinton County Prepares COVID-19 Vaccination Plan

Published on October 20, 2020 by Brett W. Todd

FRANKFORT, Ind – Clinton County is moving forward with a COVID-19 vaccination plan – a plan that is addressing the vaccination of as many as 40% or 50% of county residents once a vaccine is available.

As part of the readiness plan is the need for two trailers to not only transport the vaccines but to make the vaccination clinic mobile to communities throughout Clinton County. One trailer would transport and refrigerate the vaccines while the second would be used for transportation of equipment necessary to carry-out the clinics, like tents.

Rodney Wann, Clinton County Health Department Administrator, addressed the Clinton County Commissioners on Monday during their scheduled meeting at the Frankfort Clinton County Airport terminal regarding both the plan and the trailer.

“My guess it is six months,” Wann said when addressing the Commissioners as to when a vaccine might be here ready for public vaccinations. “We have been through [a campaign like] this before through H1N1 about 10 years or so ago.”

Wann explained the difference between the vaccination procedure with H1N1 and COVID-19. “This is probably a two-rounder. So for every one you give, you have to give another. The majority of the vaccines are going to be a two-dose situation. Unless something changes.”

The need for a trailer is to increase the mobilization of the Health Department to reach as many spots of the various communities while acknowledging vaccinations will have to be performed differently for COVID-19 versus those programs done in the past.

“A lot of the time, we have always tried to do them in a facility like the schools,” said Wann. “Having had just the testing facility run six or more months now, I know that there’s a bit of astigmatism toward having the testing site there right now in facilities like schools when we are trying to keep them open.”

Wann described the trailer for vaccinations as being custom built allowing not only vaccination distribution but ensuring correct temperature control for the vaccines. The trailer would have a mounted generator, two vaccine refrigerators, side windows on either side to allow for small drive thru set-ups, a ramp, and internet and communications equipment for approximately $87,000.

“(The trailer will be) put not only to full use during this current emergency that we’re in, but it would for years to come,” said Wann. He stated the trailer could be used as part of a yearly back-to-school immunization plan working with the various county school nurses ensuring children receive their required shots.

During the discussion questions regarding the time to manufacture the trailer took place between Wann and the commissioners. A set date has not been provided for when a trailer would be available. The commissioners discussed amongst themselves how the trailer would be paid for.

Clinton County Sheriff Rich Kelly, who was in attendance, addressed the commissioners and Wann to offer a solution while a manufacturing timeline can be ironed out as well as how the County would pay for the trailers.

Sheriff Kelly offered the use of the department’s new 37’ trailer and communications trailer. Wann agreed that may work should a trailer of their own not be ready when the vaccines become available.

After the meeting, Wann addressed how quickly they could be up and operational once a vaccine is available and they have equipment in place.

“We are already planning with the State Department of Health – we have been since about three weeks ago,” said Wann. “We’re already being told to be prepared for November – whether that happens or not we’re just going to go with what they tell us. I would say we would be operational within two to three weeks after we get our first doses if not before that.”

Wann said vaccinations would more than likely begin in Frankfort and move out towards other communities in the County.

“We would start in a centralized location – be more than likely Frankfort to start with – and work our way out from there based off of the priority groups,” said Wann. “As it becomes more widely available we’re going to try and get further out into each of the little towns – much like we used to do with flu clinics where we would make the rounds and go to each and every community.”

He anticipates as much as a 4x increase in COVID-19 vaccinations as compared to H1N1.

“I would hope to think if we get past the election and people start to realize they need to listen to the science and not the politicians on this – I would hope to think that we would be upwards of 40 or 50% of our County population wanting to get the vaccine meaning 15 to 16,000 – and two rounds,” said Wann. “That is a lot of vaccines.

“It won’t be done in a weekend and certainly be more of a season, maybe a quarter before we could get up to those numbers and at about the time you get them done, you have to turn around and give them that second dose again. We will be busy for several months once we get started.”

Their goal is 300 to 400 vaccinations per hour using between 20 and 40 vaccinators.

Dogs Win 22-8, First Regular Season Winning Record In 11 Years

Published on October 20, 2020October 21, 2020 by Brett W. Todd

FRANKFORT, Ind – The past three years Frankfort looked at the last regular-season game against Crawfordsville as the chance to keep from going without a win.

And, the past two years were not kind to the Hot Dogs – no wins in each of those seasons. But, Friday’s game against the Athenians had a different meaning in 2020. FHS entered the contest in hopes of accomplishing something that has not been done for 11 years – end the regular season with a winning record.

Despite a first-quarter Crawfordsville touchdown, the Dogs bounced back and scored three times offensively and defensively held the Athenians scoreless for the remainder of the game, and claimed its 5th win of the season, 22-8 – a regular-season record of 5-4.

“That was exciting – first regular winning season in like eleven years,” said a jubilant FHS coach James Byers after the senior class had surprised him with a cooler of water poured over his head. “You can’t say enough about this group of seniors – they’re outstanding young men. I’m so happy for all of them – I’m so happy for those two senior classes that came before them that kind of set the stage for this.

“This group has done a tremendous job of battling through adversity – battling when people around didn’t believe in them and they believed in themselves and believed in each other. They just kept grinding, they just kept working.”

The Hot Dogs defense turned up the pressure after the early score and collected 5 interceptions, a forced fumble, and a fumble recovery – two of the turnovers led to FHS scores by the Dogs’ offensive unit. And, the special teams unit added a blocked punt.

“Defensively we are tough,” said coach Byers.

Frankfort got on the board twice in the second quarter both times the result of the defense causing a turnover.

The first score came after Vlad Carreras Lantigua forced a fumble of Athenians quarterback Kaiden Underwood on the 4-yard line. Four plays later and Hot Dogs quarterback Sam Michael scored on a 1-yard run. A two-point conversion pass to Jade Ayers from Michael tied the game at 8-8 with 11:09 left in the second quarter.

The second score came after Brenton Wood intercepted a pass thrown by Underwood on the 40-yard line that allowed the offensive unit to take the field. And like the previous score, Michael scored on a 1-yard run. The two-point try failed – the Dogs up 14-8 with 6:40 left in the first half.

FHS scored the final time in the 4th quarter at 8:39 on a 36-yard run by Michael. Cam Swinford caught the two-point pass from Michael that moved the score to 22-8.

“We played well on all three phases,” coach Byers said. “Coach Pickrell did a great job of putting together a defensive game plan. Coach Jewell did a great job with the offensive game plan and making in-game adjustments.

“Coach Surber did a great job of putting together the special team’s plan. The entire staff, coach Chris Keller, Colt Keller, Evan Hall, Dillion Shelly, Noah Dubree both are former players (Shelly and Dubree) of ours that have come back and are doing a great job with our guys.”

With the regular season complete, Frankfort turns its focus to the post-season playoffs. The Dogs travel Friday to its perennial rival Lebanon (2-4) for the first round of the class 4A sectional 22 action. The two did not meet in the regular season due to COVID-19 protocols with the Lebanon team. In addition to the game canceled with Frankfort due to COVID-19, Lebanon canceled two additional games, Danville and North Montgomery.

“(Lebanon) coach Smock is an outstanding coach – he’s got some really big kids on his line, they’ve got some really terrific athletes,” said coach Byers. “The Harker kid is back (Garret Harker, 5’10”, senior, quarterback). Their wide receiver is back – Reese (J.C. Reese, 6’2”, senior), he’s probably the fastest kid in the conference. And, they are going to be tough defensively.

“We are going to focus in on what we are going to need to do to be competitive with those guys. They kind of came in here last year and steamrolled us (53-0), but we’re a little more confident team this year. We’re a little bit more composed – we’ve been in some kind of tough, close games. So hopefully, we can be a little more competitive with them this year.”
